So what about this new 11th Doctor, eh?

Matt Smith, lately of the UK series Moses Jones and The Shadow in the North (which he co-starred with Billie Piper), has been chosen as the new Doctor after David Tennant leaves at the end of the 2009 specials. I’ll hold my judgment until I see the new series. They always need a bit of time to grow on me, even the wonderful Tennant. He’s the only reason why I’ve loved this show the past few years. It certainly wasn’t Billie Piper.

A Doctor in his 20s isn’t going to bother me if he’s a good actor and there’s decent writing and supporting actors in place. Would I have loved Stephen Fry in the role? Sure, but he’s too old and teenage girls will not watch an old Doctor. He’d be a great Master, though, eh?

Mr Smith is flabbergasted, bless him. I look forward to less romance and more sci-fi (please!) now that Stephen Moffat will take over as showrunner. What do other Whovians in the Whoniverse think? What direction would you like to see the show go in?
